‘Beacons’ is a gripping, hauntingly brilliant prog rock latest original release from The Theos Variant!

The group delivers a searing performance that will resonate deeply with fans of prog rock and metal music. Their latest, ‘Beacons’ can be loosely compared to a blend of Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, and Opeth! Yet their sound is refreshingly original and demonstrates a fiery passion and creativity. Lead vocalist Dan Lentz’s deep, booming vocals ride commandingly upon a bed of thunderous riffs, hypnotic, emotional melodies, and soaring atmospherics. If there was ever a track that embodies a strong, silent, reflective personality, this would be it.

The track opens with short haunting tones before launching into an immersive prog rock arrangement. Enter Dan’s intense, purposeful vocals. The lyrics convey a sort of resilience, a quiet strength that builds by being in solitude. It empowers this listener to not waste energy in the pursuit of pointless materialistic desires and expectations and instead, journey deep within oneself to seek that state of self-realization. An especially compelling line comes right at the end, sung in an intentional loop, ‘When I need to medicate, I close my eyes to meditate.’ It’s a powerful sentiment and conveys a deep meaning to each of us.

‘Beacons’ features some of the best production you will ever hear on a heavy rock track. Each element, texture, and layer, crafted with insane attention, care, and detail, is felt and heard. Giving the listener a surrounding, enveloping, cinematic feel all throughout the track. This is the kind of sound that makes you actually feel like the hero, the master of your own story and your own destiny, and affirms that truth with heart and soul.

Save this track for repeated, cathartic listening.
